Welcome! I’m Brayden (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist based in Waltham, MA. I also hold a license in Wisconsin as a Professional Counselor, offering virtual therapy for clients across the state.

I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, caught in big life transitions, or struggling with identity and self-acceptance. My passion is guiding people toward healing, self-discovery, and emotional growth in a way that feels safe, creative, and affirming.

Therapy with me goes beyond talking. Together we might use art, music, movement, or drama to process emotions, uncover insights, and build coping strategies that actually work for you. Expressive Arts Therapy creates space for your authentic self to emerge — without judgment, without pressure, and at your own pace.

Clients often tell me they feel more resilient, confident, and grounded after our work together. Whether you’re navigating stress, exploring your identity, or simply wanting tools to feel more at home in your own skin, expressive therapy offers powerful ways to grow and heal.

My approach is collaborative, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and HAES-aligned. I believe every size, every shape, and every identity deserves compassion and celebration.

Outside the therapy room, I love spending time with my therapy dog Graham Cracker, performing in local community theatre, exploring nature, and diving into creative projects — my latest has been sewing my own clothes!

If you’re ready to feel supported, understood, and empowered, I’d love to walk with you on this journey.
